What an amazing experience - such a lovely house with its fascinating history and decoration. Loved that it is a glimpse into a bygone world. Great that it is possible to visit it. Excellent guides and lovely shop.

This was a superb visit, very informative and attentive guides. Thoroughly recommend taking time to visit this amazing wonder!

I have been wanting to visit David Parr's house for a few years now and it did not disappoint. The house itself is a capsule of time, creativity and dedication to craft and to the family home. Our tour guides were great and gave us time to look at the house alone whilst always closely for questions and information. The young lady (blonde wavy hair), we didn't catch her name, was really sweet and informative, she was doing a great job. I recommend a visit to anyone interested in history and the arts & crafts. It is such a special house.
